After walking up the steps, outside the gate of the palace hall, the yellow gate official pulled it open and shouted: "Li Hu, the son of the guard officer ***, has arrived outside the palace to order the marquis."

Soon a eunuch in the hall replied: "Li Hu, the son of Xuan***, will come to the hall to meet him."

In front of the guards on duty, the yellow gate official reminded me at the end: "Li Hu, whether it is a blessing or a disaster depends on your luck. Please come in."

I saluted and thanked me slightly, and stepped into the threshold of the hall with a nervous mood.

The Great Wei court was indeed majestic. The hall was decorated with magnificent magnificently, with oil lamps dotted around the hall like stars, with the dragon and the pillars towering high, with civil officials and military generals listed left and right, and a red carpet in the middle directly leading to the emperor's throne on the high platform inside.

Emperor Wei was very young and looked just twenty years old. He sat calmly on the throne of the emperor, staring at the door.

Under the gaze of the ministers and generals, I performed the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows according to the Zhou rituals, slowly came to the steps in front of the throne, knelt on both knees and fell to the ground, greeting him in fear and fear: "Li Hu, the son of the guard officer ***, is here to pay his respects to Your Majesty. Long live my emperor, long live my emperor."

The Emperor of Wei was named Yuan Ke. It has been recorded in history that he was a young emperor with ambition in the late Northern Wei Dynasty. He did not reply at all, but heard an eunuch on the left saying, "Get up. Do you know the crime you committed? During the day, in the Imperial College, do you know what you said without hesitation?"

I was so scared that I didn't know what to do. At this moment, I suddenly heard Emperor Wei speak and scold the eunuch and said, "Hmm? Be presumptuous!"

The eunuch immediately bent down to the Emperor of Wei and apologized, "Your Majesty, I'm talking too much, damn it!"

The Emperor of Wei waved his sleeve impatiently at him, and then asked me coldly: "Li Hu, why are you so young, cursing me as a child, the Great Wei Dynasty is about to be over? How did you know that it will take thirty years?"

I don’t know if it was the one who secretly reported me. The disaster came from my mouth. It’s true. I really regret not being so show-off during the day.

I clasped my fists and bent down to the Emperor of Wei and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the fortune of the Great Wei Kingdom is a fate that is determined by heaven, and my child can do nothing to control. The villain once received guidance from a master, and he had a brief understanding of the yin and yang and eight trigrams, and had a glimpse of the secrets of heaven, so he could speak nonsense in the daytime. He also asked Your Majesty to remember the ignorance of the villain and forgive the villain's sins. According to the hexagram, he had no intention of slandering the Great Wei. He was thinking of the emperor's grace and was worried about my Great Wei."

At this time, a Han official smiled and said, "A five-year-old child actually knows how to worry about my Great Wei, which is a blessing for the Great Wei."

"Absurd!" A Xianbei general scolded angrily after hearing this: "It was because of this that the child lies and cursed that the Wei Dynasty was about to end, causing rumors to spread all over the court to panic. Even though Li Hu was an unintentional act, his sins were severe and unforgivable, so he immediately beheaded to serve as a warning to others."

After the Xianbei general finished speaking, a group of generals behind him agreed, making the Han minister blush and unable to answer.

Regarding my own safety, I no longer care about fear and directly retorted: "Dear generals, if my child's words are caused panic in the court. A villain is not talented, dare to ask all the generals, if all the generals are full of confidence in my Great Wei, why are they afraid of what my child says? You are so frightened, is it because you have long questioned the fate of my Great Wei?"

The general in charge angrily rebuked: "Nonsense, we are loyal to the Great Wei, so why do we have any doubts? Young man, don't talk nonsense."

I refuted loudly: "If you don't question it, why should you be anxious? The world is so big, guarding people's mouths are more important than guarding rivers. There are many discussions in the countryside. Could it be that some villagers say that our Great Wei will perish today, and you will also be mourning together to cry and cry? "

"You!" the general pointed at me angrily, but he couldn't find the words to refute me for a while.

At this time, standing in front of many generals, a man in a python robe and royal uniform raised his head and laughed loudly. The laughter attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked at him in unison.

Even Emperor Wei, who was very calm, couldn't help but ask, "Why is the emperor laughing?"

No wonder this man could laugh happily in the court. It turned out that he was the uncle of Emperor Wei, and only those with high and powerful positions could be so happy.

After hearing this, the emperor immediately bowed and replied: "Report to Your Majesty, it is natural for those who are ministers and generals to worry about the country and the people, and this is the heart of loyalty and kindness. Now our Great Wei soldiers are attacking the Southern Dynasty, and the army is now striving to attack Zhongli. At such a critical moment, there are rumors that our Great Wei is about to be exhausted, and his intentions are vicious and obvious."

After saying that, the emperor pointed at me and scolded angrily: "Li Hu must be a spy from Daliang. I came to our court to confuse the public and confuse the morale of the Great Wei army. His heart would be punished!"

I knew he was coming for me, and Emperor Wei frowned and asked me, "Li Hu, what do you have to say?"

I lowered my head and replied, "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty is Xiao Yan, would you send a child like me to Dawei to be a spy? No one is available to Daliang anymore, so why should you pay a 15-year-old child?"

"Yes!" Emperor Wei nodded and said, "It makes sense to say this. But you bewitch people's hearts and disrespect me, Great Wei, what explanation do you give?"

I replied, "Reply to Your Majesty, the so-called "preparing an umbrella and full of hunger food" is to prevent it before it happens. Although it is shown by the destiny of heaven, there are also variables in the Yin and Yang Eight Trigrams. Whether the fortune of the Great Wei is good or bad is all in the hands of Your Majesty. A villain is not talented, reveals the secrets of heaven, and reveals that the fortune of the Great Wei will decline and cause panic among the people. This is a warning to everyone. The so-called "good medicine" is bitter and honest. You also ask Your Majesty to judge him as a wise ruler. You must not let the country decline and ignore it."

Emperor Wei smiled coldly and asked me, "If you say so, do you have a way to save me?"

I replied, "Your Majesty, the villain is a child with a yellow mouth. I dare not talk about state affairs in the main hall."

Emperor Wei was a little unhappy and directly ordered me and said, "You should have said what you shouldn't have said, so why dare not? But it's okay to say it. I can forgive you for being innocent if you say it well."

"Abide by the order, Your Majesty!" I had no choice but to sort out my thoughts and answered: "The villain thinks that if the Great Wei wants to reverse the decline, there are three strategies. The best strategy is to revise the national affairs, and Hu and Han will be one family, treating each other equally regardless of the superiority and inferiority. In this way, our Great Wei will last for a long time."

Emperor Wei asked disdainfully: "What should Zhongce? "

I answered truthfully: "In order to rectify the administration of officials, Zhongce will stop fighting, reward farming, run schools and promote business."

Emperor Wei was still not interested and continued to ask, "What should I do if I do the worst?"

I knew he was so vulgar, so I had to answer: "The worst strategy is to take war as a step forward to ensure the peace and stability of our country and the people of the Great Wei."

Emperor Wei was still not interested, but he still asked: "How to advance by fighting, can there be a detailed explanation?"

I asked for instructions and said, "Please show the map for Your Majesty and the ministers, and the villain will follow the map."

When Emperor Wei heard this, he became interested and immediately ordered: "Come, picture above."

Soon the eunuchs began to act, and raised a large map under the night sky, hanging it on one side of the platform.

I was shorter, so I borrowed a spear from the guards and pointed to Zhongli in Nanliang on the map and said, "Zhongli is the barrier of the Daliang Kingdom. Our Dawei and the Southern Dynasties are facing each other. For many years, we are unable to distinguish between your attacks and your defeat. This time, our Dawei attacks Zhongli, and Daliang will also raise heavy troops to resist. Even if our army seizes Zhongli, Daliang will soon send a large army to retake it. Therefore, the battle here is a long-lasting battle."

After hearing this, the emperor sneered and said, "Li Hu, I know what you said. If you have any opinions, you might as well say it. Just listen to it, why should you hide and feel uncomfortable?"

After listening to it, I glanced at Emperor Wei, and saw that he was frowning and thoughtful, and knew that he was anxious about the Zhongli war.

I dragged the spear head and drew a large circle in the border of Daliang, and then explained: "The Southern Dynasty has a wide area, and it is a big river to compete with our Great Wei and the north and south. Even if our Great Wei attacked the north bank of the Great River, the Nanliang navy was so elite. If the troops did not overwhelm the territory, it would be difficult to get the Liang city healthy."

After saying that, I continued to explain to the Liang Dynasty's borders: "Although the Liang area is wide, it is sparsely populated, and the rivers are the only one line as the gathering place. If we want to destroy the Southern Liang and unify the world, our Great Wei can only slowly plan it."

Everyone was shocked after hearing this and was incomprehensible about it. (To be continued)
